Lapdog is a punk rock band formed in 1992, and in 1995 they released a mini-CD called "Knight for a day" on legendary label Ampersand Records, run by Jose Saxlund (Abhinanda) and Dennis Lyxén (Refused). "Knight For A Day" was released with the bands first line-up:Alexander Holmberg - Vocals & guitar, Christopher Holmberg - Drums, Bengt Wahlin - Bass, Tomas Andersson - Guitar.Their main influences comes from the american melodic punk and hardcore scene, from which they have formed their own sound.The band has unfortunatly seen several eras of down-time due to personal reasons and substance abuse, but since 2009 Lapdog has been back, stronger than ever, and this time clean. Alexander never stopped composing during these down-times, which means that there are a lot of songs to pass around, enough to cover at least two more albums.

Here is the first part of a compilation done by Alessandro for the skatepunkers forum. Here's what he said:
OK, so this compilation was done by me yesterday, the first part of a 26 songs compilation. I've tried to select random songs I really like from bands from the 90's that not too many people know or care about anymore. Why? Because it's always nice to listen to compilations with unknown bands that could make you discover your new favorite band. I've tried to mix all the subgenres of skatepunk (christian, swedish, 90's european sound, etc) so there will be songs for all tastes. All the songs are in VBR-0, the best quality I could provide you, as always. Hope you guys like some of the songs you didn't know before; I find them all pretty good. There's no order for the tracks, so they are alphabetically. Any feedback is appreciated.
